You Ask For It, You Get It

I've never had such a reaction to a drawing, not since Man vs. Sweater. A disturbingly large number of readers said they identified with Marge. Are you kidding me? You've actually knit your cat's tail into a...into a...

What the hell is that she's making, anyway?

Since there was so much call for it, I've put her on a knitting bag in the shop.

Anything else you want? Just ask.

Cover Boy

I haven't said a word, until now, about a Christmas gift that was so unexpected, and so lavish, that I got weak-kneed and nearly passed out under the tree when I opened it. My parents, in a show of support that stuns me even now, put into my hands a top-of-the-line Canon digital SLR– with a professional-grade zoom lens so sweet that when I look through the viewfinder, I hear angels singing.

The first real workout the new equipment got was for my day job. Six hours of photography around campus with student models, all for a 5 page brochure for a one-day event. Whew.

But I'd rather be exhausted by photography than by anything else.

Here's a rough mock-up of the cover shot. Having a camera that can make this possible, well...the door is open. If I don't make something happen, it'll be my own damn fault.

i forgot to add; i've never knitted my cats tail into a whatever, her hair yes butnot her tail, but the first time i knitted the ten hour adult sweater i made the second sleeve directly opposite the cardi opening somehow

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. The yellow. The purple. The wood. The books. The light. The shape of the windows. The intense concentration on the faces of the students. Their relaxed tension in their postures. Beautiful.

I love the pic Franklin, almost makes want to go back to university.I went to leave a comment on your almanac along, and it is set that only bloggers can leave one, so I sent the links to the lady having trouble cabling.Barb B.
